Seafloor Cores Show Tight Bond Between Dust And Past Climates http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1204402887
"Each year, long-distance winds drop up to 900 million tons of dust from deserts and other parts of the land into the oceans. Scientists suspect this phenomenon connects to global climate--but exactly how, remains a question. Now a big piece of the puzzle has fallen into place, with a study showing that the amount of dust entering the equatorial Pacific peaks sharply during repeated ice ages, then declines when climate warms. The researchers say it cements the theory that atmospheric moisture, and thus dust, move in close step with temperature on a global scale; the finding may in turn help inform current ideas to seed oceans with iron-rich dust in order to mitigate global warming."

I don't know what the hell this means, but after reading The Guardian's interview w/ (James Lovelock) I'll be happy for anything resembling good news.
